Question: Can we enter spirituality without correct prayer?

Answer: Until the proper prayer is formed, nothing can take place. People cry out, “Save me!” because their desire for spirituality is not genuine. It is an animalistic desire. “Give it me! Why won’t You give it me?! After all, You gave me the need, so where is the fulfillment?”

The Creator has endowed you with Hisaron, but His plans do not include filling this need. The Creator has provided you with Hisaron that is not aimed at spirituality. You must shape this desire correctly yourself and build a true spiritual need on its basis.

In essence, He gave you a corrupted Hisaron, a desire for something more than the pleasures of this world. Through your work, you attract the light from above. We call this the surrounding light, the light descending from the Sefirot Netzach, Hod, and Yesod of Partzuf Atik of the world of Atzilut. You attract an illumination to yourself, which gradually builds the right Hisaron in you, and to the extent of your efforts spent on finding the right Hisaron, you feel this illumination.

Otherwise, you will feel other illuminations that shine on you in a non-selective form, just unsorted pleasures from the upper world. But you want to attract a special illumination, a light that returns to the source. To do this, you must want to return to its source (the Creator), i.e., a person must develop his own Hisaron. As it is written: “the woman who conceived first will give birth to a boy.” For this, we have been given a group.

Gradually, this will be revealed to us; there is no other way. You look at the faces of people at the lesson, and see only the outer shell; you do not understand what you have in common, what binds you. But if you penetrate deep within each of them, you will see the souls that are your Kelim. In essence, the souls of your friends are the organs of your spiritual body.

Our initial desire for spirituality is called a point in the heart. We must build a new Kli around this point: instead of a stony heart (Lev haEven), a heart made of flesh (Lev Basar). It is built by joining the other Kelim, the Kelim of your friends, to your black point. As it is written, “I will take away your heart of stone, and create a heart of flesh in you.”

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 5/14/26, Rabash, “What Is, ‘If a Woman Inseminates First, She Delivers a Male Child,’ in the Work?”

How can I unite with a friend if he strikes me as somewhat foolish and constantly cheerful, which I perceive as frivolity? Inside him a fire may be burning, yet outwardly there are just jokes and silliness.

Moreover, the issue isn’t how I can be impressed by this, but simply that he lowers me from my level of appreciating the importance of the goal, and I too begin speaking nonsense. Can a group really bring me to something serious this way?

Rabash writes that, on the one hand, outwardly there should even be jokes, something light but not frivolous, while on the other hand, inside you everything should be burning. How can these be combined? These are very fundamental questions!

Of course, outwardly the group may say all kinds of things, but I am impressed by external expressions, not by what is internal. How do I know what is inside them? If I am influenced by the external, then I too begin speaking nonsense, willingly or unwillingly falling under its influence. On the animate level, this is exactly what happens. So, what should be done? Let us think about it!

Question: But how does a person clarify this? After all, only one thing matters: how the group can increase our desire.

Answer: Yes, that is the answer to the question! Increase the speed. Again, you are not paying attention to Baal HaSulam’s words. He writes two words, and that is all. There is no need to look for additions here. Pace!! That is all! You have no other possibility. Do not think that for every bad or good situation there is some special solution. Bad and good are all a matter of the same pace.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 5/11/26, Rabash, “The Meaning of the Strict Prohibition to Teach Idol Worshippers the Torah”

Question: When do I establish a connection with the whole world?

Answer: To the extent that you acquire a screen, you turn not inward, but outward, beyond yourself. Baal HaSulam clarifies this in the book The Giving of the Torah and uses the example that as a person grows, so do his worries.

At first a person cares only about himself, then about his family and his surroundings. Later, he begins to worry about the whole country, and as a result, the whole world becomes the subject of his thoughts. Here, Baal HaSulam describes a great man in terms of his human qualities. However, this surely also works in spiritual development.

Just imagine that everything we attain in our desire through the five senses, as well as all our spiritual attainments, is included in our common desire, called “Adam HaRishon,” the common soul.

I am a part of this common soul, one of six hundred thousand, and all my attainments—all that I can absorb inside myself to fill my part—are called “this world.” Whatever I perceive as I enter the sensation of external Kelim is called my external world, that is, my spiritual world. As a soul, I already reside in these external spiritual vessels.

Question: How can this be implemented during the lesson?

Answer: If the Creator has charged you with the initial Hisaron, you will continue to work on it until you gain a true desire for spiritual things. You just have to want it.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 5/14/26, Rabash, “What Is, ‘If a Woman Inseminates First, She Delivers a Male Child,’ in the Work?”

In the spiritual realm, there are concepts that relate to roots. And in our world, in the material realm, there are also names, concepts, and results that stem from those roots. These are two domains: the spiritual domain, and below it, the material domain.

Baal HaSulam explains the concepts of root and branch in the section “Inner Observation” of the first part of The Study of the Ten Sefirot. He cites the saying that there is not a blade of grass on earth that does not have an angel above it that strikes it and tells it, “Grow!”

That is, in this world, every object, quality, force, or desire—anything that exists in any form on the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking levels—has a spiritual root from which it originates.

This root gives life to the created being and, as it is said, strikes it and says, “Grow!” By increasing the sensation of lack of fulfillment within it in various ways each time, it intentionally drives it toward growth.

Since this is determined by the spiritual realm, where the roots reside and from which all pressure of governance and control descends, everything below is compelled to grow. The wisdom of Kabbalah deals with showing a person how they can change their destiny, how, without waiting for the “blow,” they can rise and perform all the necessary actions themselves, and thus grow more efficiently and quickly.

This personal participation is called “Israel.” A person, on their own, strives directly toward the Creator, since in any case they are “growing.” But the question is whether they wish to do so independently. In that case, they transition from the state called “the nations of the world” to the state called “Israel.”

The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about these qualities from a spiritual perspective. But of course, in the material realm as well, as a result that is manifested in matter, we acquire the same concepts. First, we correct the vessels of GE, which are called “Israel” and are “few among the nations of the world.” Then comes AHP de Aliyah, and only afterward the true AHP.

When Israel (GE) from all the shattered vessels correct themselves, they must completely exit all the vessels. These actions are called “holiness” and “purification,” the making of a covenant.
